↑ 1.01.1The concept of خود مختار ریاست is somewhat imprecise and there are disagreements about whether certain territories are sovereign. There are currently 194 states that are generally regarded as "fully" sovereign: this بشمول the 193 member states of the اقوام متحدہ plus ویٹیکن سٹی. Some of these states have under their jurisdiction territories, dependencies, or collectivities that are clearly non-sovereign geographical areas. These territories are generally regarded as being subsumed within the overarching sovereignty of the governing state. For example, the برطانیہ holds sovereignty over the territory of جبل الطارق, even though جبل الطارق is not considered to be part of the برطانیہ۔ There are a few territories in the world that are neither clearly sovereign nor clearly subsumed under another state's sovereignty. Often, these territories have declared themselves to be sovereign, but they are either not widely recognized as such or lack some of the necessary conditions for sovereign statehood. In these cases, explanatory footnotes indicate how the territory is treated for the purposes of this list.
↑Note: land border lengths will vary depending on the scale by which they are measured, and therefore these figures without a source accompanied by an explanation of how they were measured and at what scale makes comparisons impossible; for more information see coastline paradox.

Territorial claims in Antarctica have been recognized only between the few countries making claims in the area. Because some of the claims overlap and there is a low number of recognition for these claims, Antarctic territorial claims are not included in this chart when listing countries' neighbouring countries and territories. The specific Antarctic claims are included in this chart, but only in reference to each other.

↑ 7.07.17.27.37.4In 2008, کوسووہ declared independence from سربیا. Although کوسووہ's sovereignty has been recognized by about 65 states, it is not a member of the اقوام متحدہ and سربیا disputes its sovereignty, claiming that کوسووہ remains one of its provinces. The dispute has been referred to the بین الاقوامی عدالت انصاف. For purposes of this list, کوسووہ is considered to be a sovereign country. If کوسووہ is considered part of سربیا، some numbers in the table would be reduced by one (e.g., when a state borders both سربیا and کوسووہ). Other numbers would remain the same (e.g., when a state borders کوسووہ but not سربیا).

Twenty-one of the بنگلہ دیشi exclaves are within بھارتn exclaves, and three of the بھارتn exclaves are within بنگلہ دیشi exclaves. The largest بھارتn exclave, Balapara Khagrabari, surrounds a بنگلہ دیشi exclave, Upanchowki Bhajni, which itself surrounds an بھارتn exclave called Dahala Khagrabari, of less than one hectare. These 198 exclave borders plus the main border give a total of 199 sections of border. Template:Cite news
